I think most of us would agree that ZeLoT 2-0 PianO is expected...

Looks like Quickly the ACS winner blew a huge lead to YSC. I can't believe how many fights he took from an unfavorable position in that game. It's like he kept spliting his army and shoving them up a ramp.
Scan 1-0 up against Mong in the finals.

As usual the groups in day 2 are dogshit once again.
How come YSC kept getting placed in group 1 with no other competitors to play the ACS winner every season?
Horang2 and Sea always in the same group and probably play each other in the finals
How come Shuttle and sSak are in the same group? Are you seriously telling me one of them is ranked lower than all the seeds of the 11 other groups? There is no fucking way Shuttle and sSak can't be the top seed of the groups where YSC, Speed, P: Ruin, Horang2, Beast or Calm are the top seeds.

Okay, big news.
Scan 2-1 Mong to qualify for ASL for the second time.

Then I doubt you have an idea how insane PianO's TvZ was or either you're very up-to-date on how rusty Piano has become (and that's not disrespecting ZeLoT).

Ive always been a fan of PianO myself. But hes inactive for half a decade now, only showing up for ASL which he always fail to qualify. He always put on some great games though. But there is no way he favorite against ZeLoT. He is active, in great form, and his ZvsT always been scary.

It's clear qualifier brackets are not completely randomized and by tier as they should, but it is what it is... In general the best players still have favorable odds, so we'll get to see the best + a clown (or two) from the obvious rigged brackets.

Sea beat Horang2 in their rigged group (again) to qualify for ASL. Horang2's play is sus af. It was like this last season as well: they put Sea on one side of the bracket with only amateurs to beat, and put Horang2 on the other side and have him clear out all the semi-notable names, then lose to Sea in the finals.
Players who have qualified: YSC, Shine, Sacsri, Mind, Speed, Scan, Action, Sea, Motive (1-0 up and very likely), Free
Shuttle and sSak battling it out in group 11 Calm and Hyun in group 12

Lets hope for players like Speed, Mong, Motive, Sacrsi, Ample, Shine, Action, Ruin, Ss1nZ, 815, ZeLoT, YSC, Shuttle, ggaemo and yoon to qualify on day 2. And to some extent, beast, PianO, Mighty, Rich, soso, Hm, Spire, Bishop, Leta and hyun
Edit: i also hope for an upset like ForGG, MC, firebathero, Midas or even Pusan lol Forgg lost in the first round vs an amateur. Shuttle lost vs Piano which is slightly surprising because PianO is rusty and didn't prepare that much. But then again, Shuttle is currently probably at the lowest activity he's ever been. Not in terms of how much he streams but how much he actually plays. Mong was eliminated by Bono which... doesn't come as a surprise because Bono is very strong in TvT. Mighty and Ssinz are banned from participating. Highest odds I'd place on: Action, Speed, Ruin, Shine, Motive, Sacsri, Mong, Beast, Shuttle, Scan, Ssak, Quickly(ACS winner so gets a final). But it really depends on who they get in their group. If any of the above get grouped together it will all change. Edit: Just noticed I forgot Ample, HiyA, Killer in my predictions... eh we'll see tomorrow. There's probably going to be an upset qualification in either Noel, Rich or Quickly. Why are Mighty and Ss1nz banned from participating?? They smurfed on someone else's account in an amateur tournament If I am correct. Oof.. That's one of the dumbest things they could ever do..
what a shame.

NoeL is very underrated but will he beat calm?
Also these are the worsr and most obviously rigged groups in years. They did an absolutely terrible job and screwed some real talent out of the tournament.

Shuttle actually dropped out to Hiya in the semi finals. Not like he would beat sSak if he went to the finals, but can't complain much about group when you can't beat Piano yesterday and Hiya today. To be fair this was coming, as he barely played BW since the last ASL, spending most of the time running the university with Terror.
In the last group, Calm probably will lose another qualifier finals. Edit: yes he did. Noel has his first ASL appearance.

Noel has his first ASL appearance. heck yeah. i gave noel the highest odds out of the amateurs because he has improved the most out of the entire amateur group. Promise has been practicing the hardest but he just didnt grow that much.
Motive, Speed, Scan and Sacsri qualified from the original moonlight proleague regular group. glad to see them all on again, and Motive foe the first time.
About Noel..TvZ is his weakest, his PvT is very good and his tvt is a bit neutral.
